Remembrance Days

You were a voodoo cult 
when I met you 
your spell closed my eyes 
hypnotised reaction 
and in the end 
it was I who lost his mind 
You were a cannibal cult 
when I met you 
your last supper was a surprise 
natural reaction 
and in the end 
it was I who shrunk your mind 
You were a suicidal tactic 
when they met you 
your methods swelled my eye 
Khamakhazhi distraction 
and in the end 
it was I who paid for our lives 

Please remember 
how I was senselessly brave 
Please remember 
all thy forgotten days 
Please remember 
why your insides caved 
Please remember our remembrance day 

You were a kingdom suppressor 
when I met you 
blindfold over my eyes 
compromised reaction 
and in the end 
it was you who framed our minds 
You were a neurotic terror 
when I met you 
you saw through my eyes 
unsatisfied satisfaction 
and in the end 
it was you who changed our minds 

We were all sacred 
Why nothing made sense 
We were all in our unholy terror 
and made our mark 
We were all tortured 
we were all starved 
You were remembered 
we were forgot.
